Installation and use of Bar-Keeper accessories
The Bar-Keeper
handlebar system
is designed to
accept the attach-
ment of a variety
of custom accesso-
ries. Although
some attachments
may be unique to
the accessory, all
generally attach
following one of
several methods. These instructions explain the attachments
generally, while using specific examples.
If force is applied to the side of the handlebars while you are
riding, the bicycle will turn. If this happens unexpectedly, it
could cause you to lose control of the bike. Accessories that
weigh more, like water bottles, should be placed as close as
possible to the center of the handlebars to minimize any effect
on the steering. Directional accessories, like lights, may need
to be exactly centered. Avoid applying force to the handlebars
when riding, like dialing a cell phone or attaching an item to its
carrier. Instead, bring the bike to a stop and enjoy the break.
When transporting your bicycle on a car rack or other vehicle,
always remove any accessories from the handlebar. As an
example, do not leave a cell phone, computer, or waterbottle
attached to the Bar-Keeper when carrying your bike on a car
roof rack. The vibration from the vehicle, or the wind, could
knock the accessories off the handlebars.

Pushing on the handlebar accessories may cause the bike to
turn unexpectedly, causing you to lose control and fall. Place
accessories in the middle of the handlebar, or stop the bike to
operate accessories.
